M.A. in Mathematics at the Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. He did his M.A. in

Statistics from Calcutta University in Kolkata. Prof. Rao worked in India at the Indian Statistical

Institute for 40 years before he took mandatory retirement at the age of 60 and worked for another 30

volumes of Handbook of Statistics. The CR Rao Advanced Institute of Mathematics, Statistics and

Computer Science (AIMSCS) has been established in 2005 in Honour of the Legend and World-

Renowned Statistician and PadmaVibhushan Prof.Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao. Two of Rao's

research papers published when he was 25 and 27 years of age have been reproduced in the book

"Statistics Published in the Last Century". One of the papers,"Information and accuracy attainable in

the estimation of statistical parameters," Bull. Cal. Math. Soc. 37,81 -91,1945, published at the age

of 25, generated the technical terms Cramer-Rao inequality ,Rao-Blackwellization and Rao metric

and became the topic of research by mathematicians and quantum physicists. He got Shanthi Swarup

Bhatnagar Award, Padma Vibhushan, National Science Medal USA, India Science Award, Prof. PC.

Mahalanobis International Award, Guy Medal in Gold of the Royal Statistical Society UK. As a part

of his Birth Centenary celebrations, this Conference covers research areas related to Statistics, Data

Science and its applications and also some of the contributions of Prof. C.R.Rao.

ABOUT INDIAN SOCIETY FOR PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS (ISPS) Eminent scholars belonging to the disciplines of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences laid the

foundation for the origin of Indian Society for Theory of Probability and its Applications (ISTPA)

when they met at Sri Venkateswara University in 1980. In the same year, the draft constitution of the

Society was drawn up during the deliberation of the Conference held at the Indian Institute of

Technology Bombay (IITB). Later, in 1981, it was registered in Bombay with its official address at

the Department of Mathematics, IIT Bombay. The Society was renamed as Indian Society for

Probability and Statistics (ISPS) in 1985. It has attracted many researchers and scholars for

enrolment as life members over the years and presently, the strength has crossed 1400. The society

takes every effort to enhance this number inviting young faculty, research scholars and students of

Statistics across the country. ISPS publishes the Journal (JISPS) by Springer Publication. Annual

Convention / Conference / Workshop/Symposium of ISPS is being organized every year in one of

the reputed national universities where the Department of Statistics exists. The events in every

conference/convention include memorial lectures, endowment lectures, invited talks, Prof A.R

Kamath cash award for Best Ph.D thesis, Presentation of Best research papers for six awards (two

gold medals ,four cash awards) including ISPS Young Statistician Award and presentation of

contributory research papers. Distinguished Statistician Award Fellow of ISPS award, Prof. C.R.

Rao, Life Time Achievement Award, has been instituted and is being presented to an eminent

personality in recognition of his/her scholarly contributions to the development of Statistics.

THEME OF THE CONFERENCE

The Conference aims to bring researchers, academicians, and corporate people in statistical theory to

a common platform. Exchange of innovations and ideas through novel ways, inspiring the young

minds to galvanize the research arena and expanding the scientific horizons of statistical thinking are

the important objectives of the conference. The organizers are also planning to have around 12

invited sessions with reputed Statisticians. The target of hosting the Conference is to make the meet

a rendezvous of statistical researchers to explore their remarkable contributions and journey through

new vistas of the "EMERGING TRENDS IN STATISTICS AND DATA SCIENCE". This is

expected to excel in the creativity of the delegates and spur them to contribute remarkable and

productive research outputs. There have been significant developments in the field of Statistics,

these developments are now being applied to various fields.
